It’s so lame that this place has such a bad rep on this sub and app as a whole.

By no means am I saying it’s perfect, a top 5 state, whatever, but acting like this state is at the bottom of the barrel is just wrong.

Sure if the best healthcare and education is absolutely mandatory for you, it’s not the best. But there are decent schools. Clemson, U of SC, proximity to healthcare at duke or in atlanta, and some in SC is decent. Obviously this isn’t its strongest point.

SC has amazing nature, beautiful places in the upstate like caesar’s head state park, table rock, other things of the sort. Amazing coast like hilton head island, charleston. Great food here as well.

Affordability is also a thing, sure wages aren’t as high but it is mostly generally affordable unless you’re in the lowcountry and don’t have a strong field of experience.

Friendly people, lakes, hikes, only a couple hours from atlanta, charlotte, mountains in western nc and some in the upstate.

Greenville and charleston are amazing places. By far the best. Lots of people will go to Columbia or myrtle beach and have a bad experience and decide that they don’t like south carolina. What people fail to realize is this state is very diverse, maybe not AS much so as NC, let alone california. Still great diversity. Options. Things to do if you have hobbies. There are clean, safe areas and solid quality of life.

The whole state is not perfect obviously. Most of the midlands is not ideal. Neither is myrtle beach. But there are solid places that bring it up.

I just don’t like when people will lump SC together with LA, MS, even WV sometimes. People love to hate on this state and a lot of times people haven’t even been here! It’s such a robotic thing to say.
